  1. Hi, I understand when going to Philmont that we need to assign a Trail Chief? Is that correct and is that what they call it?? .... also are there other boy leaders we should assign in the troop specifically for the Philmont trip..... We have 9 scouts and 3 adults going.... Thanks Dave
  2. Thanks much for your advise. We do a have full trek (12 people) and only 2 boys have solo tents, they have used them on other backpacking trips we have taken so they didn't buy them specifically for Philmont.... I also have one female adult leader going and her son doesn't want to sleep with her so she will be taking a small tent. Personally I wouldn't buy one of the really small tents because for bit more you can buy a small 2 person (which is what my son and I have) and then he can use it solo if he wants to in the future. Thanks again, I can't wait to go....
  3. Hi, our council advisor is "highly recommending" that we don't let any of the boys take single person tents.. mostly because of the buddy system. Can anyone tell me if this is a Philmont requirement... we have a couple of boys that have bought single person tents to use at Philmont. Thanks Dave
  4. Hi, Great news we are going to Philmont in '06. We are looking at transportation options and was wondering if anyone could give the names of companies that run shuttles from Colorado Springs to Philmont? We might actually take the train but I'm checking into flying... (that's what I vote for). We are coming from Wisconsin and I would really like to have an extra day to get used to the altitude. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave
  5. Hi, I am a new member from Wisconsin and my son has recently joined the boy scouts. I was not in scouting as a kid but am looking forward very much to getting involved as a scout leader. My first question is can you tell me when and where basic adult leader training is? Who would I contact locally to find out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Dave
